I weill do a more practical post in a min re: cals for the last few days and weight loss this week, but I want to get a few thoughts out on Lent and Ash Wednesday and all the rest of it.
I am a practising Catholic so Lent is important to me. As such, as a child, I always did the obligatory giving up sweets for Lent etc. This year I didn't just want to fall back on that. I am taking the opportunity to weed out chocolate and crisps for a month and a bit but I wanted to do something more, something that would help me grow as a person as well as shrink as a physical entity.
So I've ordered a book on Catholic Devotions from the internet and this Lent, once the book arrives, I'm giong to devote some of my day to prayer and thought of the bigger world. OK so no immediate direct benefit to my weight loss path, but I think by taking this time and thinking of something other than myself, I might actually grow in spirit. And if nothing else it is a means to aportion some of the day as definite non-eating time.
I'm not sure how it will work, not even sure what form it will take - but I will keep ye updated :)
